Trump is the new Hitler and the US is a Fascist state

Trump is the new Hitler – a figurehead with a good line in charismatic public speaking, some populist rhetoric and a penchant for mistreating women. The similarities don’t end there however and the key one to draw is that both lead their countries into becoming fascist police states – already, after a couple of weeks in office Trump has threatened to crush peaceful protesters with tanks and has enacted new legislation that violates basic human rights.

Trump and Hitler were both elected into power, Hitler then used a false flag (the burning of the Reichstag) to suspend the constitution and impose a single party totalitarian dictatorship. Many are expecting a major false flag on the 9-11 scale or worse, to occur in the near future in order to empower Trump’s nefarious agenda, probably to give cassus belli for yet another war.

Already we are seeing Trump return to the Bush-era policy of using the US military as mercenaries to fight the battles of ‘allies’ like Saudi Arabia and Israel, a suitable false flag would enable Trump to repeat the Bush-era military adventurism and by suitable, I mean big enough in scope and nature to justify a large scale military response despite the very great degree of war weariness among the US public after failed campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Trump, as dangerous as he is, is not the only nasty character we have to be wary of however. Hitler was largely a figurehead, the poster boy for the Nazi brand skillfully crafted by Joseph Goebbels (BTW, the dapper Nazi uniforms were designed by Hugo Boss) and the really dangerous characters were the brains of the operation – Goebbels the propaganda genius, Himmler the ideological guru and supremely good bureaucrat, Bormann the expert financial criminal, Goering, the smartest and most practical who threatened and coerced everyone who got in the way of the Nazis, Hess the fanatic and orator who whipped up the crowds ready for Hitler’s speeches.

Trump is likewise a figurehead, and likewise is surrounded by a coterie of very unpleasant characters. Will future generations remember the names Bannon, Tillerson, Mattis, Flynn, DeVos, Pence and others in the same way we today regard Goebbels, Himmler, Bormann, Goering, Hess and the rest of the Nazi criminals?

If you doubt the fascist nature of the Trump regime, then you only have to consult the 14 point checklist below and you will see that all of them apply to the USA today.

The 14 Defining Characteristics Of Fascism

first published in Free Inquiry, Spring 2003

Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each:

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism

Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights

Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause

The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4. Supremacy of the Military

Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

5. Rampant Sexism

The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

6. Controlled Mass Media

Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

7. Obsession with National Security

Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

8. Religion and Government are Intertwined

Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.

9. Corporate Power is Protected

The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

10. Labor Power is Suppressed

Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts

Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.

12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment

Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption

Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

14. Fraudulent Elections

Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

SF & Lobo: See Kevin Barrett’s article on what happened at UC Berkeley. “Crushing protesters with tanks” is hyperbole — so far. However, under Nixon, national guard troops shot unarmed protesters at Kent State & Jackson State universities.

During campaign, Trump said ‘I could shoot somebody on 5th Av. in NY, and nobody would care.’ But tanks would be a better tool — esp. if Bannon & Trump’s nationwide agents provocateur were in the area.

Russia after “Bolshevik Revolution” with Lenin & Stalin is much more complex than Hollywood could handle (even now) — with accepted history being just wrong. Regardless, “Genocide” is a good word for it; and many Russian & foreign Jews were definitely involved.

@wjabbe and other property owners. Notice that I didn’t say, landlord. Nuff said about that. All too often property owners and managers operate on the premise that they are the law; however, the state’s landlord-tenant acts give us tenants rights as well. Much to the chagrin of these feudal lords we tenants have the right to be protected under those laws. You acted criminally and the former tenant could have sued you for your self- righteous behavior. Read your laws and act as though you are a responsible person, the kind that you expect your tenants to be.

Give me a break, this article is cartoonish to the nth degree. Donald Trump is not fit to shine the boots of the Great One, The Ultimate Avatar, Adolph Hitler. What kind of drugs is the writer of this lunacy on?

Greetings Edward. Ian’s 14-point theory didn’t work. In practice, Germans felt secure, prosperous and hopeful with AH, to the point that thousands of Dutch and Polish migrated to Germany from 1933 onwards. Government systems are good as and how they can make people live well. If you want, you can make a 15th-point, Donald T, has taken away health assistance for many americans, AH kept Germans with total medical assistance.. .

HD & Lobo: Although Hitler & Nazis did in fact do good stuff (e.g., good science & currency issued by the German state, instead of being loaned into existence by privately-owned Rothschild banks), Hitler & Nazis also did stupid stuff (e.g., their deal with Rothschild & Co. to murder European religious Jews to drive more secular Jews to British Mandate for Palestine territory, which the UN later recognized as Israel).

Hitler was a possible/probable Rothschild son & failed artist, whom powerful others used due to Hitler’s charisma. Other Germans were real brains & powers behind what was Nazi Germany. Not all good.

You’ve not addressed portion of article about “The U.S. Is a Fascist State.” Due to a Hitler fetish?

I don’t think AH was the monster that the victorious allies have constructed him to be. Just the opposite in fact. The real monster was the Bolshevik monster that the Germans fought off. That said, as corrupt as the Clintons are, I think it’s accurate to say that Trump is going to be destructive. He is arrogant beyond measure, reckless and obviously a proxy for the Tribe.

The US has always been fascist. The difference now is the complete control of the MSM, gained over many decades, which is so influential that it doesn’t matter if the New York Times ran the following headline. The USA is a Fascist State with Revolving Door Pseudo Dictators. It would be explained away, and laughed at as fake news by the same NYT. Every person of limited means is terrified. That covers 80% of us.

# 15 – when a Fascist State votes in a World organization- not to condone any Fascist/Nazi regimes – it pretty much says – Look at Me – we’re a Fascist state and proud of it ! Nov 2016 UN vote to ” outlaw” Fascist and Nazi regimes – 130 countries Yes – USA and Ukraine – No – US allies- abstained.

This is an excellent article. Many of these points apply not just to the federal government but state and local government right now almost everywhere in the country. For example, I am a landlord. The State Law in Georgia, which favors the tenants, is totally illegal and violates, among other things, the contracts clause of the U.S. Constitution. Once I had a simple written, signed contract with a tenant where the tenant agreed that if the rent was not paid by a certain time, they gave the landlord written permission to turn off utilities, change the locks and all property left was transferred to the landlord. I executed this agreement. The tenant returned and acted like they were going to break in. I called the police myself and truthfully described the situation to them. The police demanded I open the door which I had locked. I refused. I was jailed without any notice of the charges. They finally came up with “trespassing”. This was in Athens, Georgia USA. I hired a lawyer who got the charges dropped but did not address any of the issues of illegal conduct by the Athens Police Dept.

After the police handcuffed me and placed me in the back of the police car, this same policeman intimidated the wonderful elderly lady who was my manager there and essentially forced her to open the door which I was jailed for refusing to open. This behavior was totally disgraceful and dishonorable. Many people told me to sue the government for millions of dollars for false arrest but I decided not to risk my retirement money and possibly lose to lying lawyers hired by the city to defend their outrageous dishonorable conduct. The police routinely evict unruly people in store front businesses every day for free. But when I called them for help, they turned on me rather than the outlaw who refused to pay the rent. By the way the tenant had an outstanding warrant in another county at the time of this incident. This sort of criminal activity by police is what gives them their deserved bad name. America is gone if it every was.

In 1992 in Athens, Georgia USA, a former UGA art student Jennifer Stone was murdered and sexually assaulted in an apartment downtown behind the bus station. This crime has never been solved. The main suspect was a local judge’s son. Although there was more than ample probable cause, this individual was never even DNA tested. The Athens Clarke County government has used the full military force and power to keep all details of this case a carefully guarded secret. Obviously they have plenty to hide. I believe, but cannot prove, that this gross mistreatment of me was in retaliation for my outspoken criticism of this outlaw government for its failure to bring the perpetrators of his crime to justice. Secrecy is the enemy of the truth. The only real reason for secrecy in this case is to cover up government incompetence or criminal misconduct. All this is a textbook example of a fascist state in action; Athens, Georgia USA.

wjabbe, My sympathies to you. You have had to put up with the kind of degenerate, corrupt political machine that unfortunately exists throughout America. Crooked cops, crooked judges, crooked lawyers and D.As, there is no justice in America. The rape and murder of that young woman and the main suspect, a judge’s son who was never investigated speaks volumes of truth.

America now meets all the criteria as a fascist state. And worse: Total surveillance of every phone call, e-mail or correspondence. Total surveillance of every purchase, of every book, magazine or internet use. An out of control police force that commits nearly as many crimes as any street thug. A police force that violates every right, that views the public at large as the enemy and is willing to use brute force, if not lethal, for even the minor of offenses. A militarized police force that is armed to the teeth, ready and willing to use it. 80,000 SWAT raids /year. Some with deadly consequences. A for profit prison system that has 2 million people inside it, more than all other nations combined. The fact that Americans commit three felonies a day without realizing it. America is going into lock down. There is a war on Americans and America is now a battlefield.
